Unemployed again!?!

[LoneTiger108]

Being a Martial Artist trying to carve a career in Management, I have at times come into contact with senior staff who aren't used to my 'style' of management.

My character alone has been affected by the lifetime grind of work, as I find that my own efforts in training do sometimes overshadow my dedication to a fulltime job. And today yet another Manager sent me packing, as I fail my probation period because of my apparent 'threatening behaviour'. I was sitting down at the time, debating protocol and unsatisfactory attitudes to change from my staff (I was responsible for five).

Time and time again I see grown adults view my strict discipline and direct communication as unacceptable. So again I'm in the unemployment queue and wondering if it's all worth the money?

Anyone else here moving from job to job wondering why you aint training instead?

No.

I just try to make friends with my co-workers and get along with them.

I'm trying to move jobs but only in the upward direction.

[Oso]

yea dude, i hear ya.

been criticised for the same thing.

for me, i don't want a bunch of double-talk PC bs when I'm being criticised, i want my bosses to tell me exactly what it is they want or don't like...even when i've been criticised for being too blunt, or too direct, they are beating around the bush about it 'it would be nice if...', 'others don't feel you are sensative to their feelings'... it's like: fine, i know i'm blunt but i get results with less time and cost involved.

i have always made expectations and consequences clear to my staff, and I've been managing people since 1986, but sometime around 2000 everybody got pc and ****. nowadays, it doesn't even seem like you can clearly identify to someone when they are ****ing up...even if it's been written in handbooks and s.o.p.'s

when there is no job there is more time to work on practice.

Time to find a new line of work. If you run into the same problem on every job then what does that tell you? You're simply not cut out to manage others.

Sort of reminds me of this girl I knew. She wanted to be an astropysicist but could not pass algebra 101.

be blunt. be honest. say what you mean.

[Wu Wei Wu]

I pretty much only work in order to do something during my downtime away from training.

I did the corporate thing, didn't dig it. Now I have an office at home, and a training kwoon at home. However, sacrificed a considerable income in order to live this way. I'm happy.

Well if you keep getting fired for the same thing, then the problem is probably you. If they feel you are displaying 'threatening behavior' then you have some issues to deal with. You might want to change your approach or stay away from management.
